Chai Wallah in Kolkata

The Chai-wallah or Chai-wala pouring chai in his street stall in Kolkata (or Calcutta.) Masala chai is my absolute favourite when it comes to beverages from India. Not to be confused with the chai lattes made from concentrate you get from the big coffee chains.The tea was served in disposable earthenware pots which made it all the more authentic. See the Chai Pilgrimage website or the Chai Wallahs of India website on how its made for more details. There is definitely an art to making the tea blend.
